With their plan set in motion, Elara and Damien found themselves standing at the entrance
of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town, the location of the secret meeting. The
night was thick with fog, the air heavy with anticipation and unease.
"This is it," Damien said, glancing around to ensure they were alone. "We'll need to stick
together."
Elara nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. "I'm ready. Let's find out what they're hiding."
As they stepped inside, the darkness enveloped them, and they followed the faint sound of
voices echoing through the cavernous space. Each step felt like a leap into the unknown, the
shadows whispering secrets they were desperate to uncover.
They crept closer, straining to hear the conversation unfolding. "The Blackwood legacy is
more than just a curse," a voice hissed. "We must reclaim our power, and that means
eliminating anyone who stands in our way."
Elara exchanged a worried glance with Damien. "They're planning something. We need to
get out of here and warn Sebastian."
Just as they turned to leave, the floor creaked beneath their feet, and the voices grew louder.
"Who goes there?" a figure demanded, emerging from the shadows.
Elara's breath caught in her throat as she recognized the man-one of the members she
had seen in her father's old records.
"Run!" Damien shouted, grabbing her hand as they dashed deeper into the darkness.
